What Our Customers Are Saying

Susan HyderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted Tip Top Arborists to help us with our dying mimosa tree. Jason came out and was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He diagnosed our tree and told us what they could do to help us save it. The work was done in a timely manner, and we were pleased with the results. Unfortunately, our tree died some time later (no fault on their part.). Tip Top came out and removed it for us at an extremely reasonable price. Everyone in the company from the owner Jim, the arborist Jason, the secretary, and all the workers were very professional, caring, and truly wanted the best for us. I would recommend them to anyone anytime! Johnny DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tip Top Arborists are hands down simply the best. Forget about all the rest. As a real estate professional serving SoCal since 1999, both myself, my neighbors, and clients alike have tried them all. I rarely make recommendations and very careful when I do unless 100% confident in repeat outstanding service over several years, but Tip Top is one company I can recommend without hesitation with a review long overdue. 1. Tip Top are highly trained licensed Arborists, not just tree trimmers. That's like comparing a Culinary Master 5 Star Chef to a burger flipper. Seriously. 2. They have top of the line newer equipment, safety gear, and multiple trucks/ crews able to handle any size job big or small ( They even sterilize their tools so as not to contaminate your trees from previous jobs, similar to a surgeon when performing surgery. Makes total sense, yet Tip Top are the only ones I have ever seen do that ) 3. Tip Top consistently shows up on time, crews work safely and efficiently, are super nice. They do a fantastic job, clean up afterwards and leave your grounds spotlessly clean. ( In most cases cleaner than when they got there! ) 4. There's a reason both City of Lancaster and Palmdale choose Tip Top Arborists as their official tree service in their communities. 5. Very importantly, Tip Top is fully insured and carry workman's comp insurance to fully protect you. Why is this important? Here's just one out of many like this I have personally witnessed... a neighbor whom hired a different company simply because they quoted a lower price. The other co. got injured on my neighbors property while doing the job and then sued my neighbor for liable because the other tree co. didn't have the proper insurance coverage! What? Yes sad but true story. The other co. told my neighbor they had insurance, when they really didn't because they let it lapse due to high premiums. Yikes! Explains how they were able to beat Tip Tops quote. ( Seems like while saving overhead, the other co. didn't care much about my suffering neighbors head. My neighbors stress was through the roof ) Bottom line, if you want peace of mind, no stress, and complete confidence the job will be done right the first time, just call Tip Top. Thanks Tip Top for all the years of exemplary service you've provided both myself, neighbors, and clients. Lily SofiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tip Top Arborists is an outstanding tree care company that combines professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for every project. The team is highly skilled, safety-conscious, and efficient, ensuring each job is completed to perfection.

Connie BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom Ball worked with Fish and Game to secure a permit to remove a hazardous joshua tree. Once the permit came through, the crew was very professional in protecting my property and each other. Michael HallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing knowledgeable and professional service. I had several tall trees trimmed and a few removed completely. Awesome job. I will be contracting with them for continued maintenance. Bonawynn CarterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tip Top Arborists are absolutely the best! Part of the reason is simple. Tip Top experts are actual ARBORISTS which means they understand each tree and what requirements exist for keeping them healthy. They know what needs to be done to prevent roots from doing damage underground and what specific pruning, treatment, topping off, and. maintenance is necessary. They are very honest and dependable and their teams leave everything looking beautiful and properly cleaned up before closing out the job. I've seen others use other businesses to have their trees trimmed but the result isn't even close to what Tip Top does. I highly recommend this business. They've taken care of our trees for 20+ years. Charles ColemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased with Tip Top Arborists. Their crew was prompt, professional and very courteous. They took great care to prevent damage to the sprinkler system and piping. Very good cleanup. Eva CoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic job thank you so much for all your work
WHY Stump Grinding Matters
Removing tree stumps may not seem urgent until you notice the problems they cause. Left unattended, stumps can become a breeding ground for pests like termites and beetles, which can spread to healthy trees or even your home. They also make mowing difficult, risking damage to landscaping equipment. Trip hazards around your yard increase the chance of accidents, especially if children or elderly family members are present.
Stumps also make it harder to use your outdoor space for new landscaping or construction projects. They can interfere with planting new grass or trees and reduce your property’s curb appeal. Stump grinding solves these issues by grinding the stump below ground level, allowing you to fill the hole easily and move forward with your yard plans.
The professionals at Tip Top Arborists understand the importance of removing stumps completely and cleanly. The right equipment, skill, and experience ensure the stump is ground down far enough to prevent regrowth without damaging surrounding plants or hardscapes.
Benefits of Professional Stump Grinding
Opting for professional stump grinding with Tip Top Arborists offers many benefits beyond just making your yard look better. First, professionals have access to commercial-grade machinery that removes stumps faster and more thoroughly than DIY methods. This reduces your effort and saves time.
Second, our experts ensure safe stump removal. Stump grinding involves powerful equipment that can be dangerous without the proper training. We follow strict safety standards to protect you, your family, and your property throughout the job. Third, grinding stumps professionally minimizes environmental impact. Rather than removing the whole root system which can disturb nearby plant life, grinding targets only the visible stump allowing roots to decompose naturally.
Fourth, professional stump grinding enhances future landscaping opportunities. After we finish grinding, you can landscape over the area with fresh soil, grass seed, or even hardscaping without uneven bumps from leftover roots or decayed wood.
Time-Efficient Removal
Our advanced stump grinders allow us to finish jobs quickly, often within an hour for small to medium stumps. This means less disruption to your day and a cleaner yard in no time.
Cost-Effective Solution
Hiring professionals avoids costly mistakes made during DIY projects. We prevent damage to underground utilities, and since stumps won’t regrow after grinding, you avoid future expenses related to re-treatment.
Eco-Friendly Process
Grinding stumps keeps organic material onsite where it slowly decomposes back into the soil, supporting local ecosystems with minimal waste.
Safety Focused Work
Our licensed arborists follow best safety practices, so you do not have to worry about accidents or property damage.

FAQs
How long does stump grinding take?
At Tip Top Arborists, most medium-sized stumps can be ground down in under an hour. Larger or multiple stumps may require more time, which we include in your free estimate. We work efficiently to minimize disruption.
Will stump grinding kill the tree roots?
Stump grinding removes the visible tree stump and part of the larger roots below ground. However, it does not kill all roots beyond the grinding depth. That said, grinding prevents regrowth and allows roots to decompose naturally without causing new sprouts.
Can I plant grass or trees above a ground stump?
After our stump grinding service, we recommend adding soil to fill the hole. New grass or plants can grow well in this area once the ground has settled. For new trees, it is best to consult with our arborists about the best location.
Is stump grinding safe for my yard?
Yes, Tip Top Arborists uses specialized equipment and skilled technicians who protect your yard during grinding. We avoid damage to surrounding plants, structures, and utilities, ensuring your landscape remains healthy.
